Who can use them?  Simply people who use money:

• e-commerce

• Business-to-business payments

What is the main difference between digital currencies? 

The main difference between digital currencies is the way they are accounted.  Some are simply accounted in a specific national currency and some others are accounted in weight of metal like gold or silver. 

For example “E-bullion e-currency” and “Liberty Reserve USD” are accounted in USD.  So if you have an “E-bullion e-currency” account with a balance amount of 500 then your account value is 500$USD.  However if you have an e-gold, e-bullion gold, c-gold or Pecunix account which is accounted in weight of metal then its balance amount is a number of units of metal not a number of a national currency.  That is to say that if you have an e-gold account with a balance amount of 500 it means that you have 500 troy oz of gold.  The equivalent current fiat (national currency) values are displayed for reference only, and will fluctuate with the current market price    
 
Although digital metal currencies are accounted by weight, their payment system allows a value transfer to be expressed in terms of different national currencies. For example, it is possible to:

• Transfer 5 troy oz worth of e-gold

• Transfer 4.3 grams worth of e-gold

• Transfer US $300.00 worth of e-gold

• Transfer CHF 985.88 worth of e-gold

This means that an American can pay an Australian or a Japanese can pay an Spanish the correct weight of gold for a good or service as easily as if the price had been quoted in his own national currency.
